- sp332 3y agoReview sites probably shouldn’t mix with merchant sites.
- Kerb_ 3y agoWell, they already are given the massive amount of affiliate driven review sites and rating systems on the merchant sites.

- dylan604 3y agoWho is that human? Is it a singular person? Is that person paid by the store that has incentives to promote an inferior product with higher margins than a better product for less margin? So many questions which leads me to one of my own…what do I find as a reputable reviewer? At this point in the game, I have so little faith in reviewers, I don’t know how to answer that honestly. Even a site dedicated to “honest” reviews would immediately be suspect in my mind. How are they making money? Who is paying for the items they are reviewing? These types of questions are the ones that always give me pause in accepting credentials

- samstave 3y ago>Who is that human? exactly. I worked at FB and commuted with some folks on the CP/dismal/abuse review team (they reviewed contnet flagged for all sorts of crazy shit) It was disturbing.... I wouldnt want to be that human, nor know those humans as well - there is a lot of dark content that makes ignorance bliss - both from knowing the content and knowing the humans (even the mods) around it... yuck
